I've heard of far too many deaths after being tazored, (even 1 is too many in my view).  As someone else said, there could be many people with illnesses that a massive electric shock to the body could, and does, cause serious problems.  My opinion is that they should be withdrawn from service as there are seemingly often being used against minor offenders that could be dealt with in other ways.

We do not want to go anymore down the USA road,

Shoot first and ask questions later,

They are only supposed to be used if the officer is in danger.

Sounds like they were not in danger in this case,

I hope it all comes out when it is investigated by a different force.

Perhaps we could issue guns to all police officers and just shoot every sodomist instead

Oh FFS Pete I expected better of you, the facts are far from clear, whether the police officers felt they were in danger (which is the test which is applied) we don't know. The person tasered does not have to be holding a machine gun to make officers fear for their safety. Anyway it could well be that in this case that the officers considered him to be a danger to himself. A tragedy either way for the family and the officers.

I did say sounds like from the reports being broadcast Swin,

I hope the full facts come out and we can put this to bed,

Its a sad state of affairs when anybody is killed and I think we owe it to the family to stop talking about this now,

Do give us a wave from the home end tonight mate.

Easy to say from an armchair Pete.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
